Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of students who want iced tea to the number of students who want lemonade, we can follow these steps:

1. **Determine the number of students who want iced tea.**
- There are a total of 30 students.
- 13 students want lemonade.
- Thus, the number of students who want iced tea is:
\[
30 - 13 = 17
\]

2. **Write the ratio.**
- The ratio of the number of students who want iced tea to the number of students who want lemonade can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of iced tea lovers}}{\text{Number of lemonade lovers}} = \frac{17}{13}
\]

So, the ratio of the number of students who want iced tea to the number of students who want lemonade is **17:13**.
